German stocks are struggling to continue driving the existing rally higher in the midst of the latest global developments. As a result of that, the DAX index is still unable to break out above the psychologically significant resistance at 14000.000, after several failed attempts. The future of the bullish market is jeopardised by shifting investors' sentiment. U.S. Treasury yields recently picked up from [...]

The EURUSD is currently in the process of establishing a Distribution range, as postulated by the Wyckoff cycle theory. What this implies is that the pair is transitioning from the established bullish trend into a new possible downtrend, a process that could take up to several weeks to complete. Nevertheless, the situation looks different in the shorter-term following a recent bullish rebound. [...]

The precious commodity finds itself in a solid bearish market at present, which is owing to the heightened demand for riskier assets amongst global investors. The latter stems from the fact that U.S. yields remain at historically low levels due to FED's massively accommodative monetary policy stance. The high energy prices currently represent another contributing factor. [...]

The GBPUSD has been performing exceptionally well over the last several weeks, consistently beating the odds. The pair has been trading over a multi-year high for over a week now and is currently threading below the psychologically significant resistance at 1.40000. Could this major barrier catalyse the long-awaited bearish correction for the overbought pair? [...]

Temperatures dropped drastically last week across the U.S. and Western Europe, prompting a marked upsurge in energy demand. Record lows were reached in many states as the coldest weather in over 30 years continues to grip the U.S, with more than 150 million people remaining under a weather alert. The severe temperatures have caused a sudden jump in energy consumption across the most affected states, causing [...]

The Nasdaq Composite index has been threading around the psychologically significant resistance level at 14000.00, which represents an all-time record for the index, for a couple of days now, and traders are keen on seeing what happens next. More precisely, they would like to know whether the existing uptrend is strong enough to break out above the resistance, or the time has come for a new correction. [...]

The EURUSD started developing a new major downtrend recently, as per our earlier projections. By the end of last week, however, the price corrected some of the losses by retracing up north. Seeing as to how the underlying price action still appears to be entailing ostensibly bearish bias, this could create some interesting trading opportunities. [...]

Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. is scheduled to report its quarterly earnings for the three months leading to December 2020 tomorrow after the market close. What most investors and traders will be looking for in the earnings report of the Silicon Valley giant are clues that the company can continue to outperform the rest of the U.S. tech sector in terms of value growth. [...]

The GBPUSD pair has been flexing muscles for quite a while now, refusing to go down just yet despite continuously mounting expectations for a new bearish correction. The reasons for the pound's strength are complex - from post-Brexit optimism to strong global demand for riskier securities. This rally is poised to cave in eventually and given this week's busy schedule, this could happen in the very near [...]

Crude oil's price finally recovered fully the losses incurred in the wake of the coronavirus crisis by reaching its pre-crash levels. This happened after the commodity managed to break the psychological 50.00 dollars per barrel threshold. Now there is a new challenge for the rallying energy market. [...]

The price of gold has been consolidating within a narrow range around the psychologically significant support level at the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci retracement since the expectations of our last analysis of the commodity were fulfilled. The reason for the temporary pause in the development of the recent downtrend is the FOMC meeting, which is scheduled to take place later today. [...]

One of Wall Street's favourite blue-chip companies is scheduled to report its quarterly performance next and traders' anticipation is unsurprisingly building up. Apple is expected to deliver its earnings report tomorrow after the market close, which means that its impact would be reflected on Thursday's open. [...]

The EURUSD failed to break out above the historic resistance level at 1.23000, which was the primary focus of our previous analysis of the pair, thereby, effectively concluding the preceding bullish trend. In that regard, the underlying trading setup remains the same - take advantage of the subsequent trend reversal into bearish territory. [...]

The earnings season in the U.S. is gaining speed, and Morgan Stanley is the next financial institution in line to report quarterly earnings for the three months to December 2020. The bank is set to do so tomorrow before the market open. JPMorgan Chase kicked-off the cycle last week. Morgan Stanley's share price is currently consolidating just below a historically significant resistance level, which was last [...]

The biggest bank in the U.S. is scheduled to release quarterly earnings data for Q4 of 2020 today before the market open. JPMorgan Chase's stock currently finds itself on an 8-days long bullish run ahead of today's numbers, which begs the question of just how much longer could this run be extended before a correction takes place? [...]

Similar to what we argued concerning the Nasdaq index yesterday, the German DAX seems to be in the same position. German share prices have been rallying alongside the global stocks hike, and now the biggest index in Germany has even managed to reach above the peak that was reached just before the coronavirus crash of early 2020. [...]

At the close of last week's trading session, the Nasdaq composite broke out above the psychologically significant resistance level at 13000.00 and closed at an all-time peak (13105.20). The U.S. technological sector is evidently performing quite well just days before the beginning of the new earnings season. The appeal for tech stocks has risen over the recent weeks due to the historically low yields in [...]

The GBPUSD pair currently finds itself at a particularly interesting situation as both the sterling and the U.S. dollar seem to be greatly affected by external pressures. On the one hand, the pound underwent a tremendous bullish run last year on Brexit optimism, culminating with the signing of a highly anticipated trade deal between the U.K. and the E.U. [...]

OPEC's tremendous efforts to stabilise the energy market in the wake of last year's crash, when at one point oil futures were trading below zero dollars per barrel, are starting to pay off. Officials of the organisation had previously stated that members have to join efforts to recalibrate the jolted supply and demand equilibrium; something that they appear to be on track to achieve. [...]

Whenever the market is advancing towards historic heights or plummeting near record depths, traders' opinions tend to be really polarised - some expect to see the trend continuing to break records while others anticipate an immediate reversal. It is usually the case with trading that one of those two groups is right. But why is this common knowledge worth mentioning at all?

Markets are open and enthusiastic traders are returning from their Christmas holidays in a good mood, which is poised to affect gold's slumber from the last couple of weeks. The precious commodity, as was anticipated, was mostly trading in a narrow range over set period owing to the low levels of market liquidity. However, this is about to change as trading activity returns to normal. [...]
